Brunswick Town epitomises everything that is great about the city as it remains one of the most prestigious locations to live in Brighton & Hove. This generous, two-bedroom apartment in nestled in amongst it all with easy access on the ground floor of an attractive semi-detached Victorian house on Cambridge Road.

While the hubbub of Western Road is just a stone’s throw away, this road remains peaceful, and the building has plenty of kerb appeal with a gabled façade of pale gault brick adorned with architectural features of the era. The communal ways are well-maintained, and upon entry, your eye is immediately drawn to the living room, where light streams in through the arched sash windows with facing west within the box bay. Wooden floors have been modernised and there is ample space for sofas and a dining area within the bay.

The kitchen remains sociable through an aperture opening which allows for borrowed light to filter through. It has been well designed for the galley space to include plenty of storage alongside an integrated fridge freezer, washing machine, oven and hob, while the butler sink has been fitted within the oak worktops. These also create a breakfast bar for informal dining between the kitchen and living room.

Moving through the flat, the bathroom sits alongside bedroom two. It is simply designed in white with a shower attachment over the bath – but there is plenty of scope to add value. Bedroom two is a roomy single – ideal as a child’s room or as a home office, while the principal room sits at the far end of the flat with tranquil views of the garden. This is a sunny double room with ample space for a double bed and freestanding furniture, plus is also boasts access to an en suite shower room with a roomy cubical and an electric shower to ensure instant hot water when needed.

From here, doors open to the garden which is a fantastic size for a city centre property. It is laid with shingle, reminiscent of the nearby beach, which is also perfectly low maintenance, ready for the modern lifestyle. The borders are lush and green, adding to the sense of privacy from neighbouring homes and the open aspect to the south ensures it is a real suntrap throughout the day. Usefully, a side gate allows you to bring muddy bikes, paws, buggies and boots around to the back of the house, rather than traipsing them through the home in bad weather.
